    CFK's surgery will be televised on Wednesday morning, and she's also asking people to give their blood, the motto is “our blood for Cristina”, apparently she needs blood. That day will be there lots of people chanting Cristina's name. Her son is behind this great idea. This is not a joke. H.P. Lovecraft would've loved this :P

    Nice pic :)

    What a ignorant the article writer is....!!!! Arica is a Chilean city, Capital of the Arica Parinacota Region of CHILE.....
    Well, it confirm that the journalist aren´t professionals at all at any country.....not just in Chile......Even a grade 2 children can do it better.....

    BTW, Chaleco Lopez starts like a real champion.....hope he can reach Lima on the podium and RIP Mr. Martlnez Boero, condolences to the family....

    Ah, geography is a subversive discipline, and it should be outlawed.

    3@ WRONG.....!!!! It´s a very important matter for world peace......It´s necessary just 2 fingers of forehead to understand it and high discipline to respect it......no all countries have those capabilities, of course.....and over our neighborhood we have a lot of bad experiences.....from our independence claims to these days.....specially when there are some populist Gvts.

    #4 If you knew some elementary geography/geopolitics/geostrategy, you would be aware that all three of Chile's neighbours are desperatly trying to redraw the map of South America/South Atlantic.
    That is why you are dead wrong. Sometimes it is also better to just shut up when you are just a plain ignoramus. Period.
